Question

If two cars A and B are moving with velocity 60 km/hr and 80 km/hr

respectively in thesamedirection. What willbethe relative velocity of B with
respect to A? (20 kmhr)​

Answer 1

VAB = 20km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Velocity of car A, VA = 60km/hr

Velocity of car B, VB = 80km/hr

To find the relative velocity of B w.r.t A, VAB;

Since the two cars are moving in the same direction, we have;

VAB = VB - VA

Substituting into the equation, we have;

VAB = 80 - 60

VAB = 20km/hr

Therefore, the relative velocity of car B with respect to car A is 20 kilometers per hour.
